  • the factory screwing the Verstellfchipe during device assembly is time consuming.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by a household appliance, in particular a water-conducting household appliance, having at least one height adjustable by means of threaded foot element, wherein according to the invention it is provided that the at least one foot element is designed to be mountable without threading.
  • the invention allows a waiver of the time-consuming screwing of the foot member during factory equipment assembly, but it can be made by wrapping a mounting of the foot member.
  • an adjustment of the foot element can be made by pressing the thread.
  • the foot element can be mounted by the action of force in the insertion direction.
  • the introduction direction is understood to be the direction in which the foot element moves by way of thread actuation, ie when screwing in, along its longitudinal axis.
  • the thread is formed such that the force required for mounting without threading force is greater than acting on a foot element of the household appliance weight, so that an unwanted height adjustment is prevented by the weight of the household appliance. It is assumed in the design of the weight of the fact that the household appliance is loaded for operation and can superimpose the vibrations occurring during operation with the force acting on each foot weight.
  • a lock nut can be used, by the weight-lowering or a self-adjusting, e.g. can be reliably prevented by operational vibrations.
  • the at least one foot element is received in a receptacle of the household appliance and have the foot member and the receptacle corresponding threads.
  • the at least one receptacle is arranged in a bottom portion of the household appliance.
  • the bottom portion may be formed as a separate component, which forms the trough of a dishwasher together with another component, such as a floor pan or the bottom portion is a lower portion of an integrally formed device body, such as a floor pan of a dishwasher.
  • the shots can also be part of the floor pan.
  • it can be provided to form the receptacles as separate connecting elements, which can be connected to a bottom portion of the household appliance.
  • the bottom portion for example, at its corners for receiving the connecting elements formed on sink holes, in which the connecting elements can be introduced.
  • the thread of the foot member is an external thread and the thread of the receptacle is an internal thread.
  • the foot member is formed as a substantially helical body, with a screw head formed as a foot and an externally threaded portion thereafter.
  • the thread is at least partially elastic, that is, both the thread of the foot member and / or the thread of the receptacle may be formed elastic.
  • the internal thread of the receptacle is elastic. Thus, it is also possible to allow mounting of the foot element in the receptacle, without the internal thread or external thread is damaged and a height adjustment by pressing the thread is possible.
  • the thread is at least partially barb-shaped.
  • the barb-shaped formation, for example, of the thread of the foot element is aligned such that an unwanted pulling out of the foot element from the receptacle is prevented. Furthermore, this damage to the thread during assembly is prevented.
  • the thread may also be sawtooth-shaped, so that the thread is formed as a saw thread.
  • the corresponding thread of the receptacle can also be formed as Sgegewinde or as a round or flat thread.
  • the thread of the receptacle is designed as a barb-shaped saw thread, while the thread of the foot member is formed as a round or flat thread.
  • the thread of the receptacle may also be barb-shaped, so as to also prevent accidental withdrawal.
  • the at least one foot element has a foot. It is further preferably provided that the diameter of the foot is smaller than the diameter of the internal thread of the receptacle. The foot may form a stop to limit the driving movement by the dimensions of the foot are chosen such that the diameter of the foot is greater than the diameter of the internal thread of the receptacle. In an alternative embodiment it is provided that the diameter of the foot is smaller than the diameter of the internal thread of the receptacle. This makes it possible to carry out the assembly process of the foot member in the receptacle during the factory equipment mounting eg.
  • the bottom tray such that the foot member is first driven with his foot through the entire threaded section of the recording until the foot emerges from the internal thread of the recording again. Tilting during the manufacture of the device to get to the bottom of the floor pan, is not required. It is preferably provided that the diameter of the foot from the foot member is greater than the inner diameter of the internal thread of the receptacle, so that the foot member must be driven with his foot as a contact element in the recording.

  • the bottom portion 2 is made of a suitable plastic material and has in the present embodiment at three positions (right front, left front and rear center) receptacles 8 for the foot elements 4, which allow a height-adjustable installation of a household appliance together with the foot elements 4.
  • the foot member 4 has in the present embodiment, designed as a hexagon head foot 6, to which an external thread 10 connects.
  • the external thread 10 is formed as Sgegewinde, wherein the orientation of the Sgegewindes is such that a barb-shaped locking action against unwanted withdrawal of the foot member 4 is ensured from a receptacle 8.
  • the external thread 10 is formed by suitable choice of material or geometric design elastic. It may, for example, be a suitably elastic plastic. In this case, the foot member 4 can be made in one piece from a single material or sections of different materials.
  • the receptacle 8 has a substantially through the entire length of the receptacle 8 extending internal thread 12 that is formed corresponding to the external thread 10 of the foot member 4 and is formed complementary to the thread 10 of the foot member 4 in the present embodiment.
  • the driven state is the profile of the female thread formed as a round thread 12 with the saw thread formed as external thread 10 is engaged, the saw thread-like configuration of the external thread 10 prevents the foot member 4 unintentionally detached from the receptacle 8. Furthermore, its deformation during the driving of the foot member 4, for example by hammer blows on the foot 6 (marked by arrow F), is facilitated by the saw thread-like configuration of the external thread 10.
  • the foot 14 forms a stop which limits the driving movement, since the diameter of the foot 14 is greater than the diameter of the internal thread 12 and thus abuts in its fully driven position on the receptacle 8.
  • An alternative embodiment is shown in FIG. 4, in which the foot element 18 has a head 14 whose diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the receptacle 8. This makes it possible to drive the foot member in the direction of arrow with the foot 14 first through the receptacle 8 with its internal thread 12, wherein the foot member 4 has a likewise formed as a saw thread external thread 16 that is designed such that the driving in of the foot member 18 in the Recording 8 is not obstructed.
  • the force is exerted on the head 14 opposite end of the foot member 18, for example by means of direct hammer blows or using a dome. It may be a stop means (not shown) may be provided, for example.
  • a stop means (not shown) may be provided, for example.
  • each receptacle 8 is provided with a foot member 4, 18, such that by means of hammer blows or other tool a force (see arrow F) is applied, which causes the foot member 4, 18 in the receptacle 8 with its internal thread 12 penetrates until a desired depth is reached.
  • a force see arrow F
  • the male thread 10 of the foot member 4, 18 deforms elastically during insertion, this elastic deformation regresses when the external thread 10 has reached a corresponding to the internal thread 12 position.
  • the foot elements 4, 18 largely completely taken, so that the device height is minimized by this position of the foot elements 4, 18 and also the load space requirement is minimized.
  • the household appliance After delivery, the household appliance is set up and it is now easily possible by adjusting the foot member 4 to effect adjustment of the height of the household appliance, with a smooth height adjustment by pressing the thread is possible by the engagement of the external thread 10 with the internal thread 12.
  • These works are facilitated by suitably shaped, for example, a hexagonal screw head or any other form-fitting geometry that allows the use of eg an open-end wrench.
